My friends mom had ovarian cancer, they couldnt find it until they finaly decided to do exploratory surgery.. they found tumors on her ovaries and removed them, they biopsied the tumors and it turned out positive so they went back and removed the ovaries. She completely recovered though, the cancer didnt spread to anywhere else and she is very healthy now.. she has to take hormones but is otherwise normal. And I know from what my grandpa went through, he was a disabled veteran and it seems a lot of VA doctors are just quacks.. he pretty much hated those doctors, most didnt seem to care about him at all and he said the conditions in the hospital were very poor..

First of all.. God can do anything. But that doesnt mean He WILL do everything.. Im sure that some people have gotten limbs back.. as I said, God can do anything, but I dont think He will heal every single person that asks, and I know not everyone WANTS to be healed.. Stacey Conor, a lady who had no arms, said "dont fix me, Im not broken." I know, having lost limbs myself.. that it is traumatic.. but for many people, after having accepted that loss, suddenly having limbs that grew back would also be traumatic! It would be great if I hadnt lost them to begin with but, I dont want them back.. Even though I feel the loss sometimes and feel down at times, I have accepted it, I am still me, Im still a person and I still have a purpose somwhere.. So dont fix me.. cause Im not broken..

I duno about TracPhones but.. I used to have a cel phone that worked on phone cards. It only did local calls though.. And anyone can get one, its very easy.. you just go in and buy the phone, they link it to a service and give it a number, then you buy a card and dial the number on the back and enter the code and it adds minutes to your account.. no bills, no personal information, or anything.. and you can buy new cards to add minutes whenever you want.. it was really neat. Hehee I just read the site.. I had almost the same thing except it was from a different service.. I also had a bigger choice of cards I could buy.. but I didnt get one of those neat phones though it was kinda one of the older type of phones.

Sorry.. I posted something sarcastic here.. ill take it down. I apologize if it bothered anyone.. Im just a little grumpy right now I guess..

I just want to know.. why do people do this. This is a 20 page thread, I gave up on it at page 2. .... why???

Hum.. where to start.. I think some women want to -feel- 'sexy'.. it has a lot to do with self image for some, and not so much how others see them.. that may be part of it too but more how they see themselves. There seems to be this thing with some people where if you cover yourself up, you must be ugly or have low self esteem.. its just, blah. Ive never been into fasion really.. I dont care for it.. I mainly wear painters pants and sweaters or baggy pullovers.. t-shirts.. mock turtles.. whatever. If its clean, functional, covers me and isnt a hassle.. Though im a LOT more conservative than I used to be.. it used to be ripped denim, leathers, chains and spikes.. Anyways.. I think some women and girls just want to look 'good'.. in such a way that it shows off and accentuates how they look physically.. but Ive never done it quite the same so, I dunno..

Going to a doctor is pretty much common sense! Nothing anywhere that I know of says you cant seek God and still go see a doctor.. If you have some kind of accident and your gushing blood and dying.. you can still pray and seek God.. but it also might be wise to call an ambulance! God may or may not heal you, who knows.. but it also might be His will for the ambulance to save you. Not doing anything at all is like grabbing the tallest lightning rod in a severe thunderstorm on purpose and saying 'God will protect me!' It isnt common sense!

I think I have something to say about this one. When I was only 19 years old I caught a terrible illness, and I very nearly died from it... I was not a christian yet, and I was DYING of this illness.. it was a severe case that is not normally seen, the doctors were not entirely prepared for it but they went to heroic efforts to save my life.. even though I would be permanently scarred and debilitated, they tried thier best to see that I was given the best chance possible, and went through endless efforts to see to it that I still had a life that was worth living. I was not miraculously cured.. it took a LOT of medicine and surgeries, done by DOCTORS, and a very long time. God may have played a role, but if He did, He used the doctors to carry it out.. I lived through all this and just recently became a christian.. I now know when I die I can go to heaven, but if I had died back then.. I would not have gone to heaven. I was not saved.. I was given a second chance, doctors and medicine were a major part of it...

I have it around somwhere but its a bit old for actual reading.. its an antique book.. very old.. Have never actualy read the story, maybe I could get a reprint of it...

And also.. just to clarify, a person or thing becomes a 'type' when it fits into a certain catagory. Lets say you want some food.. there are many different kinds of food, different types or categories. One type would be meat.

Type in this context means, as a noun, 1, a kind or class 2, a typical person or thing 3, a model or pattern And as a verb in the same context it means, 1, ascertain the type of 2, symbolize Hope that helped..

Im flat broke.. I live off my friend.. but, I cant buy what I want because its free... hugs koppen! :hug:

Wow jadey... that really says a lot!!

Ok, here is how I look at it.. God is above and beyond our dimension.. and has the ability to know every -thought- we have. Just as we can predict the weather, God can know what we will do before we do it.. except he is MUCH more accurate than weather forecasters. Perfectly accurate Id say. But predicting the weather doesnt mean we control the weather.. it still acts out on its own accord.. but we know what it will do. God can forecast what we will do because he knows our habits, and our very thoughts, even subconcious ones.. its like, how sometimes when you know somone very well, you can predict how they will act in a given situation.. but God knows us PERFECTLY, he knows every aspect of us, so even though we are free and independent, he can still predict what we will do. Make sense? And also.. with the guy in your sights.. even though you are pulling the trigger, which would be entirely up to you, after that bullet leaves the barrel its pretty much up to God if that person will live or not. If it was Gods will that person dies, God knows if you would shoot him or not, then God can decide to take his life with that bullet or not.. its out of your hands once youve made the decision. So Gods will AND free will can BOTH work together.

Being tempted is not your fault.. if it were, everyone on this earth would be in SERIOUS trouble! One or maybe even two drinks is not bad IF you dont have and never have had a drinking problem.. but if you -have- had problems in the past, I would suggest you avoid it.. I used to drink like a fish but I had to give it up because eventualy it would have killed me.. it seems that when I get near alcohol, I want to get drunk.. I have slipped up a few times and done it but I continue to fight it.. Ive had just one drink this year that I remember and I hope to make it my last one. I dont feel God would purposely put you in that position that might cause you to fail, so no.. I dont feel it was a test, it was just a normal thing that many people encounter.

Wow, thank you for posting this mj.. This was definitley something I needed to learn about, and didnt even realize it.

LOL yeah, people do tend to get itchy by suggestion at the thought of getting fleas.. but check yourself for bites and fleas just in case, they can and DO feed on humans.

Yes, they get on humans too, and yes they JUMP. They can jump EXTREMELY FAR in fact, they are able to perform amazing leaps... They can jump straight off the cat onto you, or even get on you from across a room. They practically fly when they jump.. if youve ever seen one jump, youll know.. they launch like theyve been shot from a cannon. Ive seen a dog get a flea bath, you could actually watch the fleas hop off like popcorn.. just POING, and theyre off.. some fell into the flea bath and were floating around but others managed to leap out of the tub entirely, which is quite a large distance for something so tiny. They can leap several feet into the air, and even further lateraly.

Fleas can get QUITE fat after they have been feeding a long time, they can also grow large.. it could be ticks though, which is really just a big flea to begin with.

Yech.. fleas.. ugh. Theyre right.. you need to bomb the whole house and send the cat to the vet.. Problem with fleas is they LEAP like mad, theyre like rocket powered armor plated little tanks, they just POP away and theyre gone.. and are hard to kill without chemicals because you cant catch them all! If even one escapes it will hop back on when its safe. Even if you should catch individual fleas, dont let them escape.. the most sure way to kill them is to pop the shell between your fingernails if you can.. theyre so heavily armored that simple squishing usualy doesnt kill them.. they just play dead and then POP away and you lose it.

larryt I dont know what your intentions are but I feel you are dangerously close to portraying yourself as righteous.. your argument was initialy a doctrinal one but you have been slipping away from that and relying more and more on examples of how strong your faith is and how close to God you are... and that others may be less so.. which leads me to wonder if you are continuing this argument out of pride and display... I cannot say these are your intentions but I do perceive it in your words.

Theres a thing called a tac light.. a friend of mine has one on his USP. Very handy because it illuminates what you are aiming at.. shooting somone in the dark is NOT wise...

I think you need to check yourself.

I dont think a person was demonicly attacking me.. I think that demons TOOK what the person said and twisted it around to use against me.. I dont blame the person for this but it might not have happened if they had explained themselves a little better...
